When the world tells some that everything that they know to be good is bad, that their very being is unpalatable, and designates every topic and discussion a battleground, presenting in the guise of benevolence and philanthropy a constant and endless harassment and attack on things they feel are important, things they might often feel intrinsically connected with, what would you expect? By which I mean, I'm not at all surprised to see such callousness as you express here, as this site is the definition of hypocrisy.Blizzard’s entry into the crowded marketplace of free-to-play MOBAs, Heroes of the Storm, recently entered its closed beta test, widely expanding the pool of players who have access to the game.īeyond the mechanics of winning an individual match, one of the key meta-goals of playing Heroes is to obtain more playable characters, either by purchasing them with real money or with in-game gold. And then also look at how many articles do exactly the same. For standing out against the camouflaged majority. For not adopting the sanctioned thoughts. Just take a look at what often even the most supported comments on this site are saying to other people, for simply thinking differently. But, that's the world people make when they ostracise others for things like wrong-think. That there are those of us, and not a small few, who feel that we need to defend ourselves against a constant onslaught of hubris and vindictiveness from a presuming majority. I personally think those people who consider sesame currency real things are the pathetic ones, the greater disturbance to societal well-being, and that the sad thing is that pissing people off should be a necessary thing in order to remain oneself. More concerned with the ritual, with maintaining the illusion than they are with the reality. Because, like Pete, I objectively observe that most people commenting on this site are frauds and fakes. Objectively points out the normality of the object of their feined objections. Another: Uses the word "snowflake" when referencing people being squeamish about something perfectly normal that has never bothered them until they read it and the communal ritual of practiced disgust ensuing. States quite objectively, that's the cost of space travel. Another: makes light about a space-faring event. Their existence having made negligible difference in the total sum. They will each also not exist for almost all of eternity. Persons numbering barely more than zero next to, again, what have lived, what do live, and what will live. Of one species that thinks for no great reason particularly highly of itself. What contribution you make is personal, made to persons. We'll each live and die within a moment of time that barely existed in all of the billions of years past, let alone what will. While most people would like to -believe- that they have value, objectively speaking we are the grit you would feel on the surface of a moist rock held firmly in your hand, and each individually a dime a dozen. A guy making light of some things and contradicting others, and superficial people chastising him for doing so. I didn't notice any of his comments at first, so went back to see what the fuss was.
